I grew up before the era of phonics too. But, didn't your teachers tell you to "sound out" new words?

I grew up during phonics. Today mr bliss and I were working on crossword puzzles and he wasn't reading the clue right, so I asked him to sound it out, then he got it. And we're not 7 and 8 years old.

I do that sometimes too. Once I sound it out, it will make more sense.I grew up during phonics. Today mr bliss and I were working on crossword puzzles and he wasn't reading the clue right, so I asked him to sound it out, then he got it. And we're not 7 and 8 years old.
And these days, not much makes sense to me anymore
Well, when you just got tired of snake and want to try it a new and different way.

Yep. That one passes as unconventional, alright. Of course, it depends on where you live. Some cultures eat snake on a regular basis and as a delicacy, as well as drinking snake bile for medicinal purposes.

I understand experimenting new recipes but this is absolutely unacceptable.
Rattlesnake is served to tourists here in Texas. I don't know any real Texans that eat it.
Just curious, would eel or octopus ever be served on a pizza in Italy?

I saw a BBQ competition cook off on TV a few years ago. They were presented with a slab of meat and had to cook from there. I enjoyed the show until one of the meats was a HUGE (albite skinned and headless) rattler. Most were seasoned grillers but there was one young girl, not even sure it she had reached her teens, was giving them a run for their money. It didn't faze her at all, she knew exactly what she wanted to do with it.
I didn't hang around to watch, funnily enough it was time to go and give the horses their last hay for the night.

You can get seafood pizzas in coastal areas, but not with mozzarella added. I've never heard of eel pizza, I have never even wanted to try eating eel
, although it's a speciality in Naples at Christmas, the Capital city of our region. Pizza with Octopus? It exists but not very popular, I wouldn't choose it, but "insalata di polpo e patate" is quite nice.

My boss is Italian and his family is from Southern Italy and he makes that meal every Christmas Eve. I had the pleasure one year of being invited to that dinner and it was one of the most spectacular meals I think I've ever eaten.
He might be a pain in the butt at the office, but that man can cook!

Are you putting oregno on your pizza?
Yes, that's right, it's classed as a mollusco just like squid, calamari.

We can buy it frozen, cut up and already cleaned, we don't live by the sea so you can't easily find it fresh at the fishmonger's.

Yes, spaghetti with fresh clams is usually the first of many courses
. We don't have a big family, so no big feasts. I cook fish dishes though, as long as we don't eat meat. At least here in the South, according to religious traditions, it's one of those days of the year when meat must not be eaten. Another one is the Friday before Easter.
That looks and sounds delicious. But that is one of those recipes I would like to taste, made by a good cook first.
I'm still sitting here with squid tubes for stuffing in my freezer as I have never had them before (small ones yes, large for stuffing no). I'm just not sure what to expect.

When I cooked stuffed squid once, I just made a simple stuffing with breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, egg to hold it together, EVOO , crushed garlic and parmesan.
They can be either cooked in a tomato sauce or oven baked.
There are lots of different recipes, this is just one of them:

I'm having pizza tonight.
Sourdough base, just wondering about toppings....
Probably fairly conventional though

Thank you Meryl! That looks great and not complicated! Also like the choice of finishing and the accompaniments.
